Ingredients
For Dough:
- 1 ½ cup flour
- ½ cup water
- ½ tsp vinegar
- ½ tsp salt
For Stuffing:
- ¼ lb minced beef
- ⅓ onion grated
- 2 tbsp water
- salt
- pepper
For frying:
- vegetable oil
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl for stuffing, and let it rest for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
- Add all of the ingredients for the dough into a mixing bowl, and knead it with your hands or in a stand mixer with a hook attachment until it reaches a smooth, firm dough consistency.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal parts, roll them into balls by hand, and cover them, so they do not dry out.
- Roll out the dough balls with a rolling pin until it is 20 cm/8 inches in diameter.
- Spread the stuffing in half of the circle. Leave space around the edges.
- Fold the blank side of the dough over the stuffing. Gently press on the edges with your fingers so that they stick together. You can trim the edges using a pizza cutter.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a large, shallow pan and heat the oil. Add a little more oil than you usually would for shallow frying; deep frying is not preferred.
- When the oil is hot, place two Ci Boreks in the pan and fry on both sides for about 3 minutes in total until golden, turning occasionally.
- Place the fried Ci Boreks on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot.
